Locks for next season: Wheels, Ehlers, PLD, Connor, Perfetti, JoMo, Pionk, Dillon, DeMelo, Heinola
Trade bait: Schiefele, Schmidt, Stanley, Vesalainen, Sanford, Stastny
Very likely: Samberg, Barron, Gus
There's a chance: 2022 1st rounder, Gawanke, Kovacevic, Lucius, Berdin, Chisholm
Longshot: Rashevsky, Chibrikov, Kuzmin, Torgersson, Holm, Lundmark
Schiefele should 100% be traded this offseason. The effort isn't there and it would give us cap space to sign PLD. Same goes for Stastny, except the effort is better than Schiefele's. Schmidt should be dealt to give room for our young defenseman. Stanley same reason, also he doesn't use his body at all being a 6'7'' defenseman. I would rather have a 5'11'' defenseman in Heinola who can pretty much do everything with the puck and make all the smart plays. Sanford we don't have enough room for next season, Vesalainen needs a fresh start on a new team, would definitely benefit his development.
Connor, PLD, and Perfetti should be the first line next season. Also the Jets should consider putting Dillon and DeMelo on the same pair, it will create a shutdown pairing, something we heavily lack.
Full lineup next season should be:
Connor- PLD- Perfetti
Ehlers- Barron- Wheels
Svech- Lowry- Appleton
Gus- Harkins
JoMo- Pionk
Heinola- Schmidt
Dillon-DeMelo
Samberg
Hellebuyck
Comrie
ALSO FIRE THE WHOLE COACHING STAFF!!!!
